The issue of high read-out voltage has been shown to be a drawback. It is the body (bulk) effect factor that is responsible for the increased overall stack threshold voltage (V/sub T/), which is greater than the sum of the individual devices V/sub T/. This same body effect is the factor responsible for increased radiation sensitivity of stacked devices. From extensive process and device simulation and resultant circuit simulation, modified stack structures have been proposed and designed. New results of lower initial (preirradiation) output voltage as well as increased radiation sensitivity are presented here. Results in this work show radiation sensitivity values of 8.5 mV/mGy achieved with 15 stacked devices of 3060/13 W/L (/spl mu/m) geometry, with an initial output voltage of <10 V.","PeriodicalId":135784,"journal":{"name":"1999 Fifth European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems.

If properly measured, a radiation induced startup transient (RIST) can be identified after certain amount of irradiation. RIST increases with total dose (TID), and is strongly dependent on the dose rate. Room-temperature biased annealing for few days can reduce RIST to a very low level. A transistor-level mechanism is proposed to elucidate the origin of RIST. The ionization induced leakage in the NMOS diode is believed to be the root cause. The degradation of the ramping speed of the charge pump causes RIST when powering up the device. SPICE simulation was also performed to demonstrate the slow down of the ramping speed by the leakage in the NMOS diode. In typical low-dose-rate space environments, RIST is not the limiting factor for the total dose tolerance.","PeriodicalId":135784,"journal":{"name":"1999 Fifth European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems.
